Please post an image listing all the correction steps you have taken to adjust it using full image tools.

You should have explored the following:
- levels/curves for contrast adjust
- transformation for correcting parallax
- color balance for color adjustment
- image adjustment for saturation and brightness
- image size for reducing image to a manageable size and appropriate resolution for print or screen
- proper compression
There may be more functions - dont do any work on image details that require

BEFORE AFTER -Straightened out the buildings using the transform tool
-Adjusted the contrast and brightness using levels
-Balanced the color (it was slightly green)
-Sharpened the image by increasing the radius
-Changed the resolution from print (300 dpi) to screen (72 dpi) to make the file size smaller

Before and After images posted below:

-Transformed and skewed the image for proper parallax.
-Adjusted color balance, curve, and desaturated the image some to add a more suitably oppressive atmosphere for the image (photo was from Pripyat, a town that had been abandoned for 30 years after the Chernobyl incident).
-Reduced the size of the image from 4097x2726 to 1024x681 pixels.

Kevin Tan sends

- straightened image (in reference to the left coral) using perspective transform tool
- cropped image to erase blank areas
- color balance (initially had yellow undertones)
- curves to adjust contrast
- hue/saturation tool to slightly increase saturation
- smart sharpen tool to slight sharpen image
- resolution adjusted to 72dpi
- resized to manageable size

Before and After
Florence, Italy

- color balance
- curves to adjust contrast
- hue/saturation
- resized to manageable size

Before: After: - Levels/curves for contrast adjust
- Color balance for color adjustment
- Image adjustment for saturation and brightness
- Image size for reducing image to a manageable size (72 dpi)
- Proper compression

Before: After: - Levels/curves for contrast adjust (It was very gray)
- Slight transformation for correcting parallax (Perspective transformation)
- Color balance for color adjustment (Added some warm colors)
- Image adjustment for saturation and brightness
- Image size reduction to 2000 pixels
- Compressed to .png file

- adjusted levels/curves for contrast
- transformation to make horizon straight
- color balance for color adjustment in the sky
- image adjustment for saturation and to make brighter
- image size for reduced to 72dpi
- proper compression to png

- Levels adjusted to bring out lighter tones
- Curves to make buildings sharper
- Color balance to bring out the red and blue tones
- Reduced image to 72 dpi
- compressed image to proper size



Before After

Here's how I changed the image:

-Corrected Parallax
-Changed Levels
-Increased the contrast
-Increased saturation by a little
-Decreased the size to 300 dpi at 1000X750
-Saved as .png
